"I am Yun Zheyue," Yun Zheyue said coldly as she took the phone.

"Dragon Head, hello!" Xu Guanlin sounded like a low-ranking soldier receiving a call from an old senior officer.

"The Ji family wanted to force Xu Qingling back to Huaxia but were suppressed by a single sentence from me. Now that Ye Chen has returned and seeks to take revenge on the Ji family, you should have the Ji family annul the engagement. As for how exactly this vengeance should be exacted... it's your concern now..."

"Your subordinate understands!" Xu Guanlin responded.

Xu Guanlin believed that he was indeed talking to the Dragon Head because it was her interference from Egypt that had allowed Xu Qingling to remain there when she was forcefully brought back to the country.

However, very few people knew about this. The woman on the phone revealed this information in one sentence, dispelling all of Xu Guanlin's doubts.

Furthermore, Xu Guanlin was convinced that Yun Zheyue was the Dragon Head for a more critical reason, which was the inherent aloofness in her voice when she spoke... Such contempt could only belong to one person, and that was the Dragon Head!

Having acknowledged the Dragon Head, Xu Guanlin naturally also recognized Ye Chen, his prospective son-in-law, as a truly great deity!

Afterward, Ye Chen and Xu Guanlin exchanged a few more words, and then the call was ended.

"Huh!"

Ye Chen sat in the big chair, took a deep breath, and with that phone call made, the Xu Family would tear their faces with the Ji family, cancelling Xu Qingling's marriage contract, thereby granting the beautiful general her freedom.

However, things went so smoothly largely thanks to one person.

"Yun Zheyue, I owe you one this time!" Ye Chen turned towards Yun Zheyue.

When Ye Chen was on the phone with Xu Guanlin, Yun Zheyue had appeared silently. Ye Chen hadn't expected her to help, to exert pressure on Xu Guanlin on his behalf.

"Since you owe me, then you have to pay it back!" Yun Zheyue said inexplicably.

"How should I pay it back?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, curious as to why Yun Zheyue was so kindhearted and what her ulterior motive was.

"Give me half of the mystical encounters you've had over the last three years!" Yun Zheyue demanded aggressively.

"Are you a joker sent by a monkey?" Ye Chen asked.

"..."

"I once pushed you from your pedestal. If I hadn't had multiple trump cards and wasn't powerful enough, you would have killed me by now. Sharing my mystical encounters with you now would be suicidal," Ye Chen said with a curl of his lip.

"Then how do you plan to repay me?" Yun Zheyue asked. "That earthen pot of yours is quite nice, you could lend it to me to play with for a couple of days."

"Forget about the earthen pot, I could lend myself to you for a couple of days," Ye Chen said with a wicked smile.

"..."

"Are you trying to provoke me?" Yun Zheyue looked at Ye Chen. "You are now the ultimate battle immortal, with the qualification to rule the world, but do you think you're so powerful that I can't do anything to you?"

"Hmm?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrow.

"I am also the ultimate battle immortal, and I'm only a hair's breadth from Transcending the Other Shore. If I were to give it my all now, you would still be killed by me!"

"So, keep a low profile in front of me!" Yun Zheyue said with an air of absolute haughtiness.

"..."

"Dragon Head, let's not beat around the bush. Just state your intentions," Ye Chen said after looking at Yun Zheyue for a while.

"Do you still remember your appointment for a battle with Na Wudao?" Yun Zheyue suddenly brought up.

"That, of course, I remember!" Ye Chen was taken aback.

Na Wudao was the most invincible figure among the Emperor, the two Kings, the three Heroes, and the four Talents, even more terrifying than Luan Shi Wang, who was also one of the Twin Kings!

Na Wudao lived in the South Sea, thus he was revered as the Dragon King of the South Sea!

Ye Chen had only met Na Wudao once, but they had made a lasting impression on each other!

When Ye Chen met this old Dragon King, he was still just at the level of martial arts master. Na Wudao gave him only one feeling, that of limitless power, so Ye Chen's impression of Na Wudao was deeply etched.

However, this old Dragon King was equally impressed with Ye Chen, even to the extent of taking him seriously enough to issue him a challenge letter.

Even now, Ye Chen didn't understand why the old Dragon King had chosen him!

"Na Wudao is like ten dragons soaring through the sky, with unfathomable strength. He took a different path from others, aspiring to ascend as a Land God and needed the strongest stepping stone."

"Initially, Na Wudao chose you to be that strongest stepping stone, and even I could not see the mystery in it."

"However, now seeing your achievements, I realize Na Wudao had a discerning eye, discovering your extraordinariness before anyone else," Yun Zheyue said, a hint of admiration in her look.

Ye Chen's combat power was too strong. With just the body of ten dragons, he could unleash the combat power of the ultimate battle immortal—an unprecedented feat!

At this realm, to transform into the ultimate battle immortal with such world-shocking strength was almost enough to literally scare a Land God to death!

"The time for my battle with Na Wudao was supposed to be a year ago, but I was at the Great Venerable of the Other Shore's mansion then and simply couldn't make it to that pinnacle fight," Ye Chen said.

"But now, you have come out!" Yun Zheyue said.

"So, he has entrusted you to find me, to continue that pinnacle battle?" Ye Chen asked.

"Exactly!" Yun Zheyue nodded. "Na Wudao only has ten more years of life. If he cannot ascend to immortality, he will simply reach the end of his life, dying of old age!"

"So, you've disappeared, and Na Wudao is very anxious!"

"Na Wudao wants the strongest stepping stone; can't he find someone else? Why must it be me?"

"Only he himself knows the answer to that. If you want to unravel this mystery, then you have to seek him out for answers!" Yun Zheyue said.

"So, Na Wudao is already impatient!" Ye Chen laughed.

"Na Wudao is very ancient, much more ancient than the chaotic warlords. The fact that he has maintained his vitality until now is already extremely difficult. If he had to travel from the South Sea or any other place, it could affect his condition!"

"So, Na Wudao hopes you will go to the South Sea to battle him!" Yun Zheyue conveyed the message properly.

"The South Sea is his main battleground, and he's waiting there for me?" Ye Chen said with an inexplicable smile. "They say even a mighty dragon does not suppress the local snake, but this isn't a snake we're talking about, it's an old dragon!"

"Na Wudao has settled in the South Sea for ages, and people honor him as the Dragon King of the South Sea. His martial momentum must have merged with the South Sea, right?"

Na Wudao is a venerable ancient being. Even though his end is near and he has grown old and decrepit, Ye Chen still holds a sense of awe for this Dragon King.

"Are you afraid?" Yun Zheyue asked.

"Why should I be afraid?" Ye Chen countered. "I am at the pinnacle among ten dragons, and so is Na Wudao. We are both beings of the same level. Moreover, his time is almost up, so why should I fear him?"

"So, even with all this talk, you would still go to the South Sea and fight this old Dragon King!" Yun Zheyue said.

"Of course!" Ye Chen asserted naturally. "The driving force behind my cultivation has always been Na Wudao. His presence as a martial giant has always motivated me to grow rapidly. Now that I have grown, it is only natural that I repay this great man!"

Ye Chen and Na Wudao were destined for a pinnacle battle, a combat signed with a life-or-death agreement!

Yet even then, Ye Chen never bore any hostility towards Na Wudao, for this old Dragon King deserved his respect.

The Dragon King of the South Sea has guarded the South Sea for countless years, resisting numerous foreign invasions, even stopping the island country's supreme ninjas. He is a Guardian God of Huaxia, holding a reputation and position no less than Yun Zheyue!

To fight such a legendary hero was something that Ye Chen looked forward to!

"You and Na Wudao have something in common—that is, you both love to fight!" Yun Zheyue said. "I see in your eyes the same look I see in Na Wudao; both of you are war maniacs. While others seclude themselves for cultivation, you fight all the way to the ultimate peak!"

"I understand now why Na Wudao chose you; you walk the same path!" A glint flashed in Yun Zheyue's eyes.

Ye Chen smiled lightly, exuding an indescribable grace.

"Oh right, there's one more thing I forgot to tell you!" Yun Zheyue suddenly said.

"What's that?" Ye Chen asked.

"I have informed Na Wudao about your return."

"Na Wudao seems to have had a premonition, knowing that you would definitely come to the South Sea."

"Therefore, he is widely issuing hero invitations, spreading the news of your battle, inviting the martial artists of Huaxia to gather at the South Sea to witness your ultimate fight!" Yun Zheyue said, her eyes shimmering with mysterious significance.

"Interesting, he's turned this into quite the spectacle." Ye Chen's eyes flashed with an inexplicable excitement.

"Na Wudao's cultivation is supreme; he has made friends with the Land Gods and is a highly respected and influential figure in the martial world. The news of your battle, should it spread, could cause an immense stir!" Yun Zheyue remarked.

"So, I'm about to become famous across the four seas, striking awe throughout the world!" Ye Chen declared.

"Becoming famous across the four seas is for sure, but I dare not say about striking awe throughout the world, because you've risen too fast and too fiercely, and there will be those who question your qualification to fight Na Wudao one on one!" Yun Zheyue said gravely.

Na Wudao, a giant in the martial world, had never been defeated in his life, not even by Land Gods.

Ye Chen had astonished many with his performance in the Di Lintian cave mansion, but that was merely his emergence on the scene. His renown in the martial world couldn't compare with that of Na Wudao.

Now, a junior was about to challenge a martial giant. Although this was astonishing, it would also invite innumerable doubts!

What qualification did Ye Chen have to fight Na Wudao one on one?!

"Meddling fools, not worth bothering about."

To be powerful is to withstand doubt; Ye Chen simply didn't care about such things.

"In any case, don't reveal your true self before the battle starts, or you'll end up with endless trouble," Yun Zheyue reminded him.

"I know all this, but when exactly is the battle going to start? You could at least tell me that!"

Ye Chen was somewhat helpless. He had chatted with Yun Zheyue on and on, becoming hot-blooded with eagerness, only to realize he didn't even know the date of the battle.

"One month from now!" Yun Zheyue answered.

"Excellent!" Ye Chen's spirits soared. "In one month, the moment when my name spreads across the world and strikes awe in all provinces will come!"

"Let's hope so!" Yun Zheyue said indifferently. "Na Wudao's existence is far too ancient; no one knows how powerful he truly is. Even if you're an Ultimate Battle Immortal, you might still be weaker than him. You need to prepare more for this battle!"
